GO FISHING and hunting for relaxation. . .. Fishing is one of the things that keep men fit—and fit men build good bombers. . . . Glenn L. Martin, of airplane production fame, is a firm believer in a pleasant-to-take

rest for war workers.

Mr. Martin is authority for the statement that “much of the

present-day absenteeism

in war plants

indirectly due to fatigue,

brought on by too many hours and too many days spent on the Job without the proper kind of rest.” An article by Mr. Martin, which will appear in the June issue

of Field and Stream, follows:

“The fisherman is a loyal American.

He is the kind of man

who will work six strenuous days a week helping us to build the big, sleek bombers that will carry bad news to Tokyo and Berlin. Being & normal man, he gets tired, for work in a modern war plant is

“If I could have my way, every man and woman on the production line would spend every seventh day in the outdoors, hunting or fishing preferably, but out in the open where they can best restore their mental and bodily energies.

Fatigue Is a Dangerous Thing

“MUCH OF the present-day absenteesim

in war production

plants is directly due to a failure of these energies, brought on by too many hours and too many days spent on the job without the

proper Kind of rest,

“Actually, there is a very small amount of deliberate, willful

absenteeism in our war production. If, however,

men on the pro-

duction line are allowed to work for many days at a stretch they finally reach a point where neither mind nor body will function properly, and as a result we can expect both mistakes and ac-

cidents, brought fatigue.

and bodies.

“AS A RESULT, when their day of liberty is over they are unfit to return to the job. Not only do they fail to do a full job of work on the production line, but they actually become menaces to their fellow workmen and to the war effort. “How much better it would be if these men would get out into

Howe Track Ace Is ‘Uncrowned Champ’

ONE OF the toughest breaks experienced by an individual in the recent Indiana state high school track and field meet was the inJury suffered by Jack Toney, Howe high school’s star dash man.

® e

. He is one of the best 100 and 220-yard sprinters in the state.

In the local Washington sectional Toney did the century dash

in 10.1, the best mark of all Indiana state sectionals. .

. . Coming

up to the finals last Saturday, the Howe ace looked the part of a

sure

winner in his favorite event. .

. In the time trials, however,

the Indianapolis youngster pulled a muscle and was unable to com-

pete in the finals.

The championship event was won by Max Ramsey of Ft. Wayne

Central in 103. . . .

That was slower than Toney's sectional mark

f and Howe high school is justly proud of its “Hurricane” who, in the opinion of Indianapolis sports goers, is the “uncrowned state champ”

fn the 100-yard dash.

Rich Twirls 3-Hit Game As Tribe Wins

By EDDIE ASH Can the league-leading Indians make it three in a row over the Minneapolis Millers? They think it can be accomplished and big John

hander, is to be sent against the

crease the Tribe's baby winning streak. Hutchings has won three games in three starts this season. He has

never lost a game while wearing che Indian colors and will be delighted no end to keep the Millers in their place. After coming down from the Boston Braves late last season the!

many starts and so far this year] has looked the part of a champ. The hustling Tribesters have won| four straight now and nine in their] last 11 starts. In other words, the | home boys are knocking ’em dead! on the diamond.

Lead by 2! Games

Their league lead amounts to two and one-half games over secondplace Toledo and third-place Co-| lumbus. That's a pretty fair margin | considering the small number of games played during the wet early season. The Redskins prevailed over the Millers last night, 4 to 1, by smacking the ball, and hard, in the clutches. Of the Tribe's eight blows, four were doubles, and they beat one of the Millers’ aces, Otie Clarke, | righthander, who had won four and| lost none until the Tribe caught up| with him. |

The pitching of Woodie Rich, Tribe righthander, once he settled | down, astounded the fans. Off to| a shaky start, a double play pulled | him out in the first inning after the|

| Millers had scored one run on two |

hits, an error and a walk. Great Throwby English In the sécond stanza Rich got|

Too Timely Belmont Victor

NEW YORK, May 27 (U. P).— The King Ranch stables were $13,250 richer today following the three-and-a-half-length triumph of Too Timely in the 27th renewal of the Coaching Club American Oaks at Belmont Park. Belmont’s smallest crowd of the season—6453—saw the filly win the mile-and-a-half gallop on a muddy track over the favored Askmenow and La Reigh in 2:35. Askmenow’s second brought Hal Price Headley $3000, while La Reigh, owned jointly by Anthony Pelleteri and Mrs. John D. Hertz, collected $1000 for third.

All-Star Game To Be Held in Dyche Stadium

CHICAGO, May 21 (U. P)-—= The 10th annual all-star football game between the Washington Redskins, 1942 professional champions, and a selected squad of college stars, will be held Aug. 25 at Dyche sta dium, Evanston, Ill, it was announced today. The Chicago Tribune, sponsor of the annual charity contest, said the game would be played at the Northwestern university stadium instead of at Soldier field, Chicago, to “avoid excessive charges levied by the city park board” and to restrict attendance to residents of the Chicago metropolitan area. The capacity of Dyche stadium is 48,000, fess than half the number of persons which attended last year's all-star contest at Soldier field. For the first time, the sponsors announced, no fan poll will be held to determine the makeup of the college team. In addition, it was revealed, the squad membership will not be restricted to graduating seniors. Frank E. Richert of the University of Illinois, secretary of the Big Ten faculty athletic committee, announced that conference players who are in military service may receive money for playing in the game without sacrificing their eligibility, Each player on the all-star team is given $150 above expenses by the sponSOS.
